Political platform statement
Why I am running for this office: I have been a Hooksett Library Trustee for the past 19 years, serving as Treasurer throughout. With a degree and professional background in accounting, my skills have been invaluable in budgeting and financial activities. During my tenure, the library has evolved significantly. My focus has always been on meeting the community's needs while balancing available funds. I'm proud of initiatives like the Lego Lend, our Library of Things, and other programs. A highlight was when the Hooksett Library was awarded Library of the Year for New Hampshire. In addition to being a Trustee, I serve on the board of the Friends of the Hooksett Library. Upon retiring, I restarted the ongoing book sale, which helps the Friends financially support the library for extras not covered in the budget. I've been an active library user since childhood, continuing when we moved to Hooksett 42 years ago. I'm married with two grown sons who enjoyed story hour at the library when it was on Route 3. I've also served as Treasurer for the PTA, Memorial Booster Club, and currently for the Hooksett unit of the Salvation Army. I am passionate about ensuring our library remains a welcoming and resourceful place for everyone. I ask for your support on March 11th and encourage everyone to visit the library to see what a wonderful place it is. It truly is the gem of Hooksett. Thank you.
